“Aren’t PreCure supposed to be high school girls? And they’re giving birth now? That’s…a fresh direction.”
“So this is what PreCure is doing these days, huh? This isn’t the PreCure I know and love.”
The new series, Star Twinkle PreCure, is set to air on February 3, with its tie-in collaborative movie showing in cinemas from March 16.
While these messages of youthful hope can wear a little thin on adult fans of the series, fans have praised the show’s takes on gender roles: the series even now features an (official) male PreCure. But that’s not all!
